About Asthma

Asthma can be a serious illness for children and adolescents to manage. At Hasbro Children's Hospital, we aim to educate our patients and help them manage their symptoms so that they may live life to the fullest.

Do you know the signs of asthma?

If your child has:

Chronic coughing

Tightness in the chest or wheezing, breathing through the mouth

Increased pulse rate, a feeling of nervousness, anxiety, or irritability

If these symptoms are present, your child may have asthma. It is a serious and often debilitating condition, but it doesn't have to be. If your child has experienced these symptoms, call your pediatrician for an asthma evaluation.
